Mercedes expect Silverstone will be “much better” for them than Red Bull
Ring
Mercedes expect Silverstone will be a “much better” track for their car
this weekend after cooling problems ended their winning streak in Austria.
在冷卻問題讓Mercedes 在奧地利終止連勝之後，Mercedes 認為本周末在銀石賽
道上對他們的賽車來說狀況應該會好得多。
The heat and altitude of the Red Bull Ring contributed to Mercedes’ first
defeat of 2019. Silverstone will bring a return to a lower and likely cooler
track, but Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff is keen to address the car’s
weakness before F1 returns to hotter venues.
紅牛賽道的熱度與高海拔導致Mercedes 在2019年首次被擊敗。這次回到高度較低
且溫度可能較涼快的銀石賽道，但車隊大頭Toto Wolff 渴望在F1 去到較熱的分
站之前解決賽車的弱點。
“I’m really hoping for the typical English weather at Silverstone so we can
gain a little bit of time to sort our problems out,” he joked after the
Austrian Grand Prix.
"我真的希望銀石賽道能有典型的英國天氣，這樣我們就有點時間來解決問題。"
他在奧地利大獎賽後開玩笑說。
“There is no alternative than to fix our problems for the coming hot races,
Hockenheim and Budapest. There is no other option.”
為了像是Hockenheim 和Budapest 這種即將來到的高溫賽道，除了解決我們的問
題外沒有選擇的餘地。沒有其他的選項。
Wolff suspects the advantage Ferrari gain from their power unit will also be
lessened at the British Grand Prix.
Wolff 猜想Ferrari 從他們的動力系統中獲得的優勢也將在英國大獎賽中減少。
“The power deployment maybe isn’t as much of a differentiator through the
fast corners so I think Silverstone should be much more to our liking,” he
said. “Maybe not as much as Paul Ricard Paul Ricard but much better than
Austria.”
"動力配置在過高速彎上或許不是一個那麼決定性的關鍵點，所以我想銀石賽道應
該會更加符合我們的喜好。" 他這樣說。
"可能不像Paul Ricard Paul Ricard 那麼明顯，但比奧地利要好得多。"
Points leader Lewis Hamilton believes Mercedes’ lack of competitiveness was
largely track-specific. “There are some circuits where it appears slightly
shorter circuits where they [Ferrari] are really super quick on the straights,
” he said.
積分領先者Lewis Hamilton 認為Mercedes 缺乏競爭力主要是在特定賽道上。
"法拉利在一些看起來略短的賽道的直線上超級快的" HAM 這樣說。
“Our car should be good [at Silverstone], but I have to assume it’ll be
close.”
"我們的賽車在銀石應該會很好，但我必須假設比賽會很接近。"
Hamilton’s run of four consecutive home race wins was halted by Sebastian
Vettel and Ferrari last year after Hamilton tangled with Kimi Raikkonen and
Ferrari on the first lap of the race.
去年Hamilton 在比賽的第一圈與Kimi Raikkonen 糾纏在一起，讓他的主場四連
勝被Sebastian Vettel 和法拉利終止。
